Dizziness/vertigo

HiI am 9wks today and have been suffering from dizziness badly since last night. I got up to go to the loo in the night and nearly kealed over. When I got back in to bed it still felt like I was spinning. This morning I still felt lightheaded with moments of the whole room spinning and tilting (like you are REALLY drunk!) I ate breakfast and went to work but started to feel nauseaous and still lightheaded.I phoned the MW and asked could they see me to take my blood pressure. (They still haven't had a chance to see me for my booking in apt as they didn't turn up on Friday due to the snow). She said they were too busy, but to ring if there were any problems (??thought that's why I was ringing??) In the end my husband came to get me and bring me home.I have had something else to eat and had a sleep and don't really feel any better. Has anyone else felt this way? Is it just another first trimester symptom? if my husband can get home again he was going to see if he can get a GP apt for me. But I feel like I may be over reacting and being a hyperchondriact!:\(Thanks for your thoughts,Lilou x

i cant say that iv had that sweetiei have the odd lightheaded/dizzy moment even if im sitting down but im sure theres no need to worry because i doubt this means theres a problem. its probably just your body adjusting to all this. the truth is all of us feel different and strange things and because we dont know what it is and we've never experienced it before it can be scary and worrying. if your really unsure id definately make an appointment as soon as you can with your doctor or midwife because it will put your mind and ease and they can tell you alot more than any of us can. keep your chin up though im sure everything will be fine keep us posted & take it easy hun.

HiI'm gatecrashing from toddlers but I had my first bout of vertigo when I was pregnant with my daughter.

Strange isn't it.I went to the doctors and he gave me some anti-sickness tablets but I didn't want to take them.It cleared up after a few days but was really rotten while I had it.

I would see your GP just to get checked out in case its something else.But it sounds like the classic symptoms.Its all to do with the fluid in some part of your ear so not sure why pregnancy brings it on??I have had it 4 more times since that first bout which is a real pain as trying to look after 2 children whilst the whole room is spinning round is awful .

I had this in the first and second trimester, ended up in a&e twice as i couldnt get up off the toilet floor cause the room was spinning so bad, i couldnt open my eyes and was vomitting, the hospital gave me an injection which sorted me out and prescribed me some melt on your gum tablets cyclizine i think thats how to spell it. i feel so sorry for you because i know exactly how you feel i felt like i had just got off the waltzer at the fair, its all just part of the parcel but i can say that touch wood i havent had it again since and i am 31+4 wks now so fingers crossed you wont suffer to bad luv. hope this helps a little and reassures you a little that its normal because when i got it nobody else i know has ever had it. x

HiI have been sent home for another days rest as the Dr thinks I have a virus which has caused labrynthitis. I take it is isn't a danger to the baby...he didn't mention anything! Didn't give me any meds due to being pregnant. My BP seems fine. Sanother day trying to sit still so it doesn't make the room spin and make me feel even sicker than the morning sickness already does! ;\)Thanks for your advice yesterday.Lilou x

Hi I had labrynthitis around a month ago at 1st I thought it was pregnancy related like you, was told no danger to baby and I am fine now. It is horrible though and I feel for you. I was really down with it and was sick with it the first few days then just dizzyness took about 3 weeks to go, which doc said is normal got signed off for 2 weeks. Only thing that helps is staying still or lying down oh and plenty of rest. It does get better though hope you start feeling better soon take care. Claire xx 37+1
